Southwest Scriptwriters committee
It’s been decided that one of the prerequisites of our being eligible for any kind of funding sometime in the future is that we should have a more formal committee structure. At the moment nominations are as follows:

Chairman — Mike Grant
Mike has been one of our longest-serving members and has been acting informally as Chairman for the last couple of years.

Secretary/Treasurer — John Colborn
John has been doing these jobs informally since June 1994.

Artistic Director — Tim Massey
Tim, who recently completed an MA in Creative Writing, joined us a year or so ago and is keen to do more to help writers in the group promote their work, as well as to try and obtain funding that would enable us to arrange rehearsed readings.

Committee members — Joyce Pearce, Pat Dallimore
